The name Achaari Gobhi itself is so tangy that one can’t resist trying out this recipe. Trust me I had a similar experience when I tried this for the first time and thanks to Sanjeev Kapoor who has always inspired me to cook more. This recipe is the best and closet match to the flavor I was seeking. Infact you can replace cauliflower with baby potatoes or Paneer and enjoy interesting taste.
I added some additional Achaar masala from my ‘Soul’ pickles to get the flavor of my daily pickle in the dish and it just did the right job. You can avoid it as it just a more of my personal touch to the dish.
Acchari Gobhi is a simple dish which can be made within 15 mins and breaks the monotony of weekday cooking. You hardly need much of ingredients but the taste is just too tasty to give it a miss.For a working day you wouldn’t find more easier dish to too cook and impress your spouse.
